One dance show at ASB

A host of tal­ented Auck­land dancers will take to the stage with the New Zealand Dance Com­pany as the com­pany makes a one night only per­for­mance at the ASB Theatre dur­ing its first North Is­land tour on May 25.

The show fea­tures chore­ographed per­for­mances backed by in­no­va­tive cos­tum­ing, set de­sign, video and live mu­sic.

The com­pany’s artis­tic di­rec­tor and Kings­land res­i­dent, Shona McCul­lagh, says the show will ap­peal to both dance afi­ciona­dos and those less fa­mil­iar with dance.

Auck­land au­di­ences will also be treated to the New Zealand pre­miere of the com­pany’s first in­ter­na­tional work Faune, in­spired by leg­endary dancer Vaslav Ni­jin­sky’s orig­i­nal chore­og­ra­phy and per­formed by New Zealand’s global dance star Ur­sula Robb.

Lan­guage of Liv­ing will show at the ASB Theatre, Aotea Cen­tre on May 25 at 7.30pm.
